The installation and upkeep of apparatus of this kind is pre costly and my invention is designed for e purpose of providing :i simple, inexpensive and eicient means of attaining the same end when the garages or other places are furnished with electric current.

Brieiy, my invention consists in providing an electrically heated apparatus which can be attached to an ordinary lampholder, plug, socket or other iittino and which can be applied to some part oi7 the radiator or its connections and will impart to the same snicient heat to keep the water warm.

A simple form of t e apparatus comprises a cylindrical tube which I will call the shell1 sealed at both ends but having at one end n connection such as a nipple by which it can be connected to the motor car radiator, say in place of the usual draw-oli tap"and with or Without a small draw-oil' tap. The connection is such that Water can flow from theiradiatpr into, the shell. Concentrically` :within this `shell isa tubo .in which an electric resistance is placed and to which a sock- 'letor :other electric wire-carrying means can applied, in suchv a manner that when the fcurrentisuonthe resistance is heated andA rapidly raises the temperature of the water silggtweennthezshell and .the central tube, the 5Jsaiclwlieat.beingpcommunicated to the whole -@fthe water; .inztheradiator -and water jack- ,ets ofpthe to the .ppeqbetweenthe radiator anc the 7f atex:]a.w et,..oi1 the'ong-ine, or it muy he ,rnnlez lto.:clampexternall onto the: radiator Qrbeptherms'e .n pliec so .that the heat of theelernent an l e device is conducted or ,gqnveyed ,toithe fvrater of the radiator or Fateracket-:to maintain Same above freezayeafound by experiment that if the vfvnterenter's the heating deviceor apparatus ,itpls; notgenerall y necessary to construct the device on a ow and return principle 1)lontthat. smp1e,pla.in tube connections he ,Iloiiherornilthe heater can be ap liedl tween rthe water 1n the shell and the water 'i radiatonis suilicient.

Examples of my invention are shown in the accompanying drawing in which Fig. l illustrates a heater, partly in section` suitable for connecting to a radiator at the point Where a draw-ofi tap is often fitted.

F ig. 2 shows a radiator with a heater, such as is seen in Fi 1, iittedtoit.l the scid heater having a sma l draw-oil tap.

Fig. 3 shows a modification in which the heater is of T sha e and suitable for at tachment between tlie radiator and the en gine in the usual flow-pipe which in a gen eral way has an indiarubber tube connection.

Fig. 4 illustrates a radiator with an external heater clamped to it.

Fig. 5 shows another form of heater of different external shape but suitable for much the same connection as that shown in Fig. 3.

Fig. 6 shows the heater seen in Fig. 5 but on reduced scale connected between a radiator and an engine.
